5:50 a.m. update: All clear on 35E in St. Paul

It's all free and clear on northbound 35E as MnDOT has picked up the cones and barrels in the vicinity of Maryland Avenue. It's only temporary, however, as they'll be put back out tonight as part of a larger closure.

I-35E will shut down between I-94 and Hwy 36 at 10 p.m. Friday and remained closed over the weekend for removal of the Larpenteur Avenue and Gateway Trail bridges.

Currently we are accident and congestion free across the system.

The Drive will keep you up to speed with the latest on Twin Cities commuting.

Two big players in the field of transportation advocacy, outreach, and programming will join forces. Transit for Livable Communities and St. Paul Smart Trips will become one organization starting Jan. 1, officials from both nonprofits announced Wednesday.

The intersection where two Mounds View High School students were killed in a car crash last week will be closed for about 30 minutes Monday afternoon to provide a safe place for people who wish to leave memorials.
